Five0pd310 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 The demise of '80's rock was the unhindered drug and alcohol abuse of nearly every rock band one could name. They either turned 60 by the time they were 30 or they simply died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeuceChunker03 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I agree with Five0, but I also think that the most of the music was a little too shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voted4Dubya Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I think its all of those reasons, plus rap being incoporated into the songs. I wish I had lived in the days of GNR, Def Leppard, Metallica, and the rest of them. I want my MTV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobama Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I think it was all about people just not liking that kind of music anymore. Achem's Razor, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five0pd310 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 But there is a reason for them not liking the music anymore. I think people just got tired of all the bull hockey of those bands. I still like the music, but the people who did it were useless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 You guys have made some good points..........my thoughts seem a tad anticlimactic! Before I realized that I was late for work, I was going to say: My theory is that there were too many bad pop bands posing as Metal bands that achieved fame too quickly & on merits other than their quality of Metal. These bands recorded too many proverbial “power ballads†that appealed to non-Metal fans. These bands (Poison, Warrant, Winger, etc.) became the face of Metal, while more talented bands faded into obscurity because they were not “pretty enoughâ€. People finally caught on to their charade. I never saw the so-called “Seattle invasion†as a threat to Metal. Just like you could simultaneously listen to the Sex Pistols & The Clash along with Thin Lizzy & Blue Öyster Cult in the late-1970s, you could listen to Nirvana & Pearl Jam along with Skid Row & Badlands. It is all Rock ‘N Roll to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsot Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 It is easier to sit back and let the tube dictate our culture than it is to research our own likes and dislikes. Yes there are exceptions, but those exceptions are too few to pay the bills. I blame the inanimate whipping boy, television....:) . . . :cat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDN5 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 blame or thank? whichever, I'm glad it's over. I would have hated to grow up in the 80's. Horrible clothes, music- everything was just flat out bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
